Today in the News Media

Today in the News Media is a synopsis of some of the most prominent coverage of OSU people and programs. Inclusion of any item constitutes neither an endorsement nor a critique, but rather is intended only to make the OSU community aware of significant items in the media.

Finding the right birth control method can feel like a nightmare, but a new study shows that there may be something guiding our decisions, maybe even without us realizing it. Research from Oregon State University looked at interview data from 1,280 interviews conducted with 470 at-risk young adults and found a link between relationship factors and the type of birth control that they were using.

Fred Kamke with Oregon State University says other techniques, like steaming the wood before treatment and treating it with resins, achieves much of the same affect. “These other methods are probably much less expensive than a seven-hour boil in a caustic solution,” he told Nature.

Oregon State University’s bystander intervention program, “Beavers Give a Dam,” has received a national award for excellence for its sexual violence education and prevention services. (see also LIFE@OSU)

Such models have worked elsewhere, if not in a revolutionary way. In 2012, Oregon got the state’s hospitals, doctors and insurers to agree to convert its Medicaid program into 16 regional Community Care Organizations. Over five years, they cut the state’s Medicaid spending increase rate from 5 percent to 2 percent, and exceeded most of their health goals, too, said Jeff Luck, a researcher at Oregon State University—fewer underweight, preterm babies, lower diabetic blood sugar levels, fewer asthma hospitalizations.

Research led by co-corresponding authors Aleksandra Sikora of Oregon State University and Nicholas Noinaj of Purdue University provides key structural and functional insights into a multicomponent protein complex known as BAM, short for beta-barrel assembly machinery.

“This amazing partnership with the High Desert Museum and Oregon State University-Cascades allows us to further our mission to enrich lives and build community in a fun, educational and important way,” said Deschutes Public Library’s Director Todd Dunkelberg.

ODA, the Oregon Invasive Species Council, and Oregon State University’s Sea Grant Program have collaborated on an outreach effort modified from USDA’s “Don’t Pack a Pest” campaign. Now in its second year, the Oregon campaign focuses on a smaller group of world travelers– international students at the major state universities.
